📋 About This Mod
Another mod I made for my personal game, this replaces all instances of waraxes, battleaxes, and swords for both the Ancient and Hero Nord weapons with modified Viking-style ones. Uses original assets from billyro and XvomTheMad, with modified textures created by me.
Billyro's Yggdrasil sword meshes were processed in NIF Optimizer to convert for Skyrim SE.
The Ancient / Draugr versions are heavily rusted and decayed, and the Hero ones are shiny and .... well, heroic. Pairs nicely with RealBows replacer or my all-in-one weapons and armor mod (Simply Realistic Armor and Weapons (Custom NordwarUA Edition)).
WIP, needs further testing & adjustment. Known issues: battleaxe could use some size/position adjustments. Waraxe is a bit long.
No . ESP, meshes & texture replacer only.
Credit: billyro and XvomTheMad for the original meshes & textures, reused according to permission.
Simply Nordic Draugr and Hero Weapons replaces ancient Nord and hero weapon meshes and textures with Viking-style designs, featuring worn and rusted textures for Draugr weapons. Uses resources from Billyro and XvomTheMad. A popular cosmetic overhaul with 468 endorsements.

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 468 endorsements and over 23k downloads

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who want their ancient Nord weapons to look more historically inspired and battle-worn. If you're into lore-friendly visual overhauls and don't mind a dated mod, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for new weapon models or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
